Utah Construction Company
Takes Over Holdings of the I

ENLARGES FIELD OF
BIG CORPORATION
Amended Articles of Incor
poration Raise Capital Stock
of Ogden Concern From
$1,000,000 to $2,500,000.
The first information concerning
ono of the most important busi
ness transactions of tho year de
veloped yesterday when the filing
of amended articles of incorporation
of the Utah Construction company
brought out tho fact that this com
pany has purchased tho entire stock
of the Vinej'ard Laud &, Livestock com
pany, also a Utah corporation, and
composed largely of prominent Ogden
capitalists. While the purchase has not
been made public, the amount involved
is said to havo been more than $1,
000,000. The amended articles of the Utah
Construction company as filed in the
secretary of state's oflico yester
day increase the capitalization of
that corporation from $1,000,000
to $2,500,000, also making it pos
sible for the company to own real
estate, mineral claims and quarries as
well as earn' on. a general livestock
and farming enterprise. The transac
tion which merges the largest railroad
construction company in the west and
one of the largest land, and livestock
corporations was consummated several
days ago, according to E. O. Wattis,
a director of the Utah Construction
company.
Interests in Nevada.
" Whilo the Vineyard. Land & Live
stock company ia a Ijtah corporation,
with Ogden capitalists at its head, the
compau3"'s interests are almost ontirciy
located in Nevada. The company owns
or controls 200,000 acres of land, said
to be the largest ranch in the entire
i west. Tho present officers of tho com
pany are Adam Patterson, president;
Joseph Scowcrofl, vice president; II. II.
Rolapp, secretary, aud W. II. Wattis,
treasurer. Tho latter -is also president
and general manager of the Utah Con
struction company.
According to E. O. Wattis, who con
firmed the report of tho transaction to
night, the stockholders ' of the Utah
Construction corupan3 have also been
the largest holders of stock in the
Vineyard company, so it was decided
to include tho properties of tho land
and livestock concern in with the here
tofore comparatively meager actual
properties of the Utah Construction
company.
Increases Backing.
I As declared by Mr. Wattis, the
I acquiring of the oxtensivo proper
ties of tho Vine3ard company gives in
creased substantial backing to tho stock
of the construction compan. He de
clared that tho entire business of the
land and livestock company would be
taken over immediately by the con
struction company and managed by the
officers and directors of the latter
corporation.
The present officers of tho Utah Con
struction company arc: William II.
Wattis, president and general manager;
M. S. Browning, vice president; II. II.
Rolapp, secretary-, and A. H. Christon
son, treasurer. President Wattis is at
preHont absent from Ogdon on a busi
ness trip to Vale, Ore.
Tho Vineyard Land & Livestock
companj' is one of tho main' enterprises
which owes much credit for its suc
cess to tho business ability of the latoN
David Ecclos, who was- its president and
principal stockholder up to the time of
his .death.

Fight Over Water Power
Rights in National Conser
vation Congress Results
in Pinchot Victory.
MATTER WILL COME
UP IN ANOTHER FORM
Proponents of Federal Con
trol Feel, However, That
Eventually Their View
Will Prevail.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. Propo
nents of federal control of water power
rights, led by Gifford Pinchot, former
chief forester; Henry L. Stimson, for
mer secretary of war, and Walter L.
Fisher and James K. 'Garfield, former
secretaries of tho interior, won a vic
tory today in the National Conserva
tion congress here in the first test of
strength on tho paramount issue of tho
assemblage.
By a vole of 434 to 15i a motion to
refer to tho resolutions Committee that
portion of the report of the committee
ou waterways which was unanimous,
vas voted down, and the report subse
quently adopted without a rollcall. The
lest of strength came when, as a sub
stitute for a motion by Mr. Stimson to
adopt the unanimous report, C. T. Bry
ant of Tennessee, championing the
cause of 6tate control of water rights,
moved that the report go to the com
mittee. Tho vote followed a day of
lively debate in which the issue, .clearly
defined, was federal or stato control of
waterway development in tho future.
Not Finally Determined.
The result did not finally determine
tho policy, howevor, as divergent ro
ports from tho committeo on waterways
are now in tho hands of tho resolutions
committee to bo reported tomon-ow.
The majority of the committee, led by
Professor George Jb Swain, submitted
a roport proposing that tho states be
given a voice in the granting of water
power franchises.
Gilford Pinchot, Mr. Stimson and Jo
seph W. Teal of Oregon offered minor
ity views urging strict federal control
of all water rights with compensation
to the government under certain condi
tions for franchise privileges. The
unanimous report adopted referred only
to certain general principles upon
which all could agree and the subject
was thrown open for discussion early in
the da3' upon motion of Mr. Stimson to
adopt this part of the report.
Claim Victory.
Both sides in tlo dobate 3ieldcd for
a vote late in the da3 when Mr. Bryant
urged that tho wholo matter should go
to the resolutions committee. Tho re
sult was so ovorwhelmingly one-sided
that tho Pinchot. following tonight
claimed that tho report of the minority
of the waterways committeo ovontualty
would be adopted. I
Delegates who supported tho motion
to rofor the question to tho resolutions
committee came chiefly from Alabama,
Arkansas, Colorado, Kfansus. Louisiana,
Montnnn, Nevada, New Mexico. South
Carolina, Tennessco and Washington.
In the heat of the discussion Dudley G.
Wootcn of Washington, anticipating
thnt the supporters of stato control
would bo in the minority, vehomentl3'
declared that tho delegates from Wash
ington "would never again intrudo on
a National Conservation congress."'
Pinchot Active.
Ear'3' in tho proceedings Mr. Pinchot
was recognized b3' former Secrotar3
Fishor, who acted as chairman of the
congress for the da', to read tho roport
of the minority. Later Mr. Pinchot pre
sented his views in a speech in which

:MEXICO CITY, Nov. 19. Speculation as to what action Presi- f.H
dent TVilson intends lo take in the iMexican. situation was increased
today by the knowledge that the American charge d'affaires,
Nelson O'Shaughnessj', had received new instructions from .Wash-
ington to wait at his post for further instructions and that jm- ( H
portant matters were under consideration. rl
The announcement that a British squadron is coming to
Mexican waters created keen interest, but the effect upon the M
Mexican mind was reassuring because the Mexican people con- f'
tinue to look upon 'Great Bfitain as a friend. In official quarters
the dispatch of the squadron was styled an act of courtesy. I'l
The foreign colonies in the Mexican capital are preparing to .
defend themselves in the event of disturbances in the city, and
particularly should the final settlement be left to the Mexicans
themselves. Both Sir Lionel Carden and Admiral Von Pintze, the
British and German ministers, respectively, have suggested to
their nationals the advisability of perfecting some sort of.' defense
organization.
No such advice has been given to the Americans, but com- lP
mittees are quietly working out a plan of defense and it is
possible that there will be formed a general organization em- jl
bracing the American, British, German and Austrian residents. f
The American charge attended today a reception given to the j
diplomats by General Huerta at Chapullepec castle. It was au 1
elaborate . affair and was held there because of the restricted
facilities of the president's town and suburban homes. L'l
HUERTA EMBRACES OUR ENVOY. I
" Gentlemen, and you of the diplomatic corps, I ask you to
drink witli me the health of the American people." WM
In this pointed manner, General Huerta this afternoon made
a distinction between the American government, and the Americans. ti'
Mr. and Mrs. O'Shaughnessy were greeted by the president 111
at t he reception at Chapultepec effusively, General Huerta em- f'l
bracing the charge. After a moment's conversation he raised his I
glass and called upon the other guests to join him in the toast.
President Huerta in his message to congress Thursday after
noon will quote Napoleon in justification of his arbitrary . disso-
lution of the old congress, and he serves notice that he will ask w
the new congress to grant him a political bill of health.
Not even a reference to international relations is made in r )i
the message which General Huerta has prepared. The document
was read and briefly discussed at a meeting of the cabinet today, !c.
the ministers agreeing with their chief that he had done well in aiJH
not attempting to cover too much ground. jfal
TRIESs TO JUSTIFY HIS ACTS. IH
The president confines himself entirely to a 'review of the "
incidents leading to the dissolution of the old congress and
justification for his act. jnl
What may be regarded as a hint of the delicate situation Hffl
which Mexico as a nation is occupying appears in the conclusion '!
of the message when he reminds the congressmen that tho moment fliH
is a solemn one and possibly decisive for the future of the nation. 0
In this connection the president says that the eyes of all the tjjH
people of Mexico, as well as those of the civilized world, are ijH
upon them. nXH
The message closes with an expression of the hope that soon lifH
all Mexicans may bo united and all may join in the task of
national reconstruction. llfH
Attention is called to the alleged lack of harmony existing I'lH
between the executive and judiciary on the one hand and the tlH
chamber of deputies prior lo the dissolution, charging that the !:flH
chamber attempted to frustrate the executive. Tiie message also H
explains that the executive dyl all in his power to prevent a j
rupture and to maintain good relations with congress, yielding j'H
in more than one instance and attempting in many ways to bring
about a more cordial feeling of co-operation. il
DECLARES CONGRESS WAS REBELLIOUS. H
According to General Huerta, "congress became in fact the j'll
center of revolutionary activity, a sort of open agency for north- fl
crn rebels engaged with arms in slaughter and pillage, and what !,
is worse still, in the task of bleeding the fatherland, to expose it.
in its weakness and poverty, to danger from abroad; took an
attitude of opposition against the government in the work it was
attempting and invaded aggressively not only t"he province of !
the judicial poAver, but also that of the executive, in order to I
second in this manner the nefarious activity of the rebels." Ml
The president says that he chose not to vacillate under these jjjl
conditions and resorted at last to the extreme measure of dis-
